IF I WERE “A BOOK”

I would be living off every word read,
Every phrase written,
Every page read,
I am in your hands,
Do what it is you want with me,
Laugh, think, share, be amazed,
For every page you pass,
Is a life lived within your mind,
Quote my words,
Memorize my metaphors,
Adopt my similes,
For through books we grow,
We experience and learn to know,
That words can change lives,
And using words is an art,
So cherish each word you love,
And let each word live on.

If I were a book I would be a nice hard cover book. I mean like the light version though. I so specific with books that I can’t really just be a paperback. It’s weird to me. I am not saying it feel cheap, I am saying I would when you hold me book it feels as powerful as the words inside. The genre of book I would be is a combination or comedic short stories and an autobiography. I feel you got to have a bit of fiction with life so you can live more and you can laugh with some of the mistakes you make in life to teach someone to be better.

Q: If you were a book, what type of book would you be? What genre of books would you be in?

I would like to be a well-loved, well-worn, highlighted, cherished book. One that the person comes back to day after day and shares their laughter and tears. Maybe even a few tear strains on my pages. Happy tears and sad tears. Knowing when they put me down they were strengthened and encouraged to face the coming day.
